Green arrest a constitutional crisis?

That is at least according to Iain Martin in this morning's Telegraph

This entire episode is quite chilling and the implications of his arrest in connection with information he gathered from a whistleblower (information which was true) are horrendous for parliamentary authority. The encroachment of the Executive and the police on the business of an MP going about his business, who was working to put legitimate information in the public domain, is seriously sinister.


Perhaps taking this incident a little too far but he continues

And it's all the fault of the EU

This type of outrage is what happens when parliament gives away its powers to external authorities - the Executive and the EU - and comes to regard itself as unimportant


hmmmmmm
